14 DAY TRIAL // One of the cheapest Android smartphones unveiled at IFA 2015 trade fair, Lenovo A1000 will make its debut in emerging markets very soon.
Along with the A1000, Lenovo launched a wide range of other Android smartphones, including the A6010, a slightly advanced version of the A6000, the high-end Phab, Phab Plus, Vibe P1 and Vibe P1m.
While the Chinese company has yet to share details on the A1000's pricing options and availability, considering its specs, we can safely assume the smartphone will cost less than $100.
Also, we expect Lenovo A1000 to be released in countries like China and India, since its hardware configuration seems to be aimed at these regions.
Speaking of which, the A1000 is far from being impressive when it comes to specs, but since it was built with affordability in mind, that doesn't really matter.
It should cost less than $100
The good news is the smartphone will most likely ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system right out of the box, a new report claims.
Also, Lenovo A1000 has been confirmed to offer 3G and dual-SIM support, so there's no 4G LTE connectivity for this smartphone.
On the inside, the affordable handset is equipped with a 1.3GHz quad-core Spreadtrum SC7731 processor, 1GB of RAM and only 8GB of storage, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot.
The smartphone comes with a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, which features autofocus, LED flash and video recording, as well as a modest VGA camera in the front.
Lenovo A1000 sports a small 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 800 pixels resolution. It's powered by a 2,000 mAh battery, which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer. According to Lenovo, the A1000 will be available in two color variants: black and white.
